No, we do not face an existential threat from economic sanctions alone. Frightening Canadians does not serve our best interests, or our negotiating position.

I'd describe the Canadian reaction as nationalist rather than fearful.

I would too, but whose words are these:

"Trump’s threat to use economic coercion to annex Canada may be performative, but it’s an existential threat for Canada."

"In the face of an existential threat, there was near-unanimity across the political spectrum in rejecting the prospect of American annexation."

This is fear-mongering, something I have seen from the mainstream media. This has to be challenged.
